    I know it’s still a little early in the year for cross-country but can anyone be able to point me in the direction of any decent trail or cross-country runs within the area (have car – willing to drive)!!

    Cheers in advance for any help!

    i think there a good trail by the curragh not quite sure though as not down that direction?
    Tymon park on twenty min down the road though and has a great cross country loop (used for the Dublin Inters and Masters the last few years)

    Don't go to Punchestown. It was recommended to me as a good grass surface option. I have never gotten blisters but the day after 3 laps of the course, on what was admittedly a humid day, I got them badly on both feet. The hoof marks make it very bumpy and uneven.

    If you look at the OS map 56, there are a number of good forest roads east of Blessington. Here is one.

    There's a great one at Glending near Blessington - take the Blessington road out of Naas, about 2k or so past Eadestown on the left there's an entrance to a forest. Great hilly trails, mixture of hardcore and muck brings you through woods and an old roadstone quarry.
